i'm new here. i have two female stray cats in my back yard that i've been
taking care of. recently i became a mommy of 8 beautiful kittens, 4 a
piece.
the first mommy went missing for 3 days, so the other momma (toni) took to
feeding the other 4 in addition to hers. 2 of the kittens are now in my
house
with me, and the other 6 are outside waitin' for good homes.
my problem is, i noticed one of my kittens, who's about 6 weeks old now,
jolene, is a bit off. she seemed so laid back and sweet natured at first.
but
when i went outside to feed them about 3 days ago and hold them all, she
was
off by herself, and when i picked her up, i noticed she had yellow-green
goop
on her bum and she wasn't eating, she had no want to fight for food like
the
rest. i got her a plate of food for her own, and she wouldn't touch it. my
mom went out to see them today, and she told me she definitely thinks
she's
sick and isn't going to make it much longer. i can't afford to take her to
the vet, but i have no idea what could be wrong with her or how to go
about
it. i'm terrified she might have feline leukemia, and then all 8 of my
babies
will have it too.
please, if any of you could give me a clue as to what i'm getting into,
before i take her to the vet and they tell me she'll die, please help me.
